The testParser() GraphQL mutation is used to test a parser on some test events in LogScale. If the parser fails to run, an error is returned. Otherwise, a list of results, one for each test event, is returned.

This is deprecated and will be removed in version 1.142. Use instead testParserV2().

For more information on parsers, see the Parsing Data documentation page.
